[SECC] Something funny, something promising, something challenging

[Scott Straw]

At the risk of getting my membership revoked, I pass along a funny that was 
in the Kim Kommando newsletter dated 10/16/04.  Since it pertains, or could 
pertain, to ham radio, maybe I'll get by with just a censure...

Two antennas meet on a roof, fall in love and get married. The ceremony
wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

Thank you all for the vicarious thrill I have gotten over the past years 
from reading about your contesting exploits.  After the flurry of reports 
about the CQWW SSB event, I have resolved that tonight I will move the 
plastic tub with all of my ham radio gear in it from the garage to my 
upstairs office.  If I get ambitious, I may even unpack it onto the 
desk.  I don't want to do too much too fast... head rush!

I have several PC's in the office, but they are all in use as streaming 
audio providers.  What I have idle are two Mac G3's.  One is a PowerPC that 
has a pretty impressive collection of audio and video connections.  I'm 
wondering if any of you are Mac-philes and could recommend software for ham 
radio in general, and contesting in particular, that would work with this 
G3 running OS8.1.

will always manage to manifest themselves most profoundly around amateur 
radio contest dates.
